SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Ratify and confirm the City Manager’s approval to increase a contract with Construction Manager at Risk, Khors Construction, Inc. from $375,267.19 to $404,942.28 to construct a new access control gate at Pier 60 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
Body
SUMMARY:
On December 7, 2017, the Council approved a proposal from Construction Manager at Risk, Khors Construction, Inc. of Thonotosassa, FL, in the amount of $375,267.19 for improvements to Pier 60 - Project KC-1801 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
Construction began on the project in late December and it was determined in January that the current turnstile which regulates persons coming onto the pier needed replacement.
The original scope of the Pier 60 project did not include this item however, the Parks and Recreation staff requested that this work be added to the current project so as not to close Pier 60 down at another time to make this repair. Furthermore, without the turnstile it would be virtually impossible to control access to the pier.
The replacement turnstile is a long lead item which is custom made and will take 8 weeks to deliver. To begin the process of ordering the turnstile, the City Manager approved the additional amount to the contract with Khors.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in CIP 315-93499 “Pier 60/Sailing Center Maintenance” for this increase.
USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A
